Game 6: The Beginning of Philly's End

[timelysarcasm]

To what extent is everyone comfortable with Marcus shooting 30 3s if Philly isn't going to guard him? Feels like Grant in the Bucks game last year.

Ask me in 15 minutes.

 

[soxin6]

How can you be upset by that foul?

Edit: Okay, a slight lean in. But it's called both ways.

They are upset because it hasn’t been called on them the entire series, only on the Celtics.

Someone spoke to Doris or she's reading Twitter.

He's 2-3 but he can easily turn that into 3-9 or worse. I'd rather not , but if hte defense is going to do that we're probaby going to have to live with it.

Marc Jones too.

If they get an open shot for anyone on the perimeter not named Robert Williams, they have to shoot it. This is the way.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

It's because we're blocks away from each other.

Yeah, we’re not watching any more games together.

When Smart is hitting, go for it. Once he cools off, stop shooting 3s.

As long as he isn't jacking 6 seconds into the shot clock and not shooting off the dribble it's fine.

I'm fine with it. $mart is a money player. He'll drain 'em.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

So is Grant the 1st big off bench?

If they get an open shot for anyone on the perimeter not named Robert Williams, they have to shoot it. This is the way.

Yeah, if Smart isn’t trusted to take those he has to sit….can’t run the offense otherwise

 

[Al Zarilla]

No field goals for Tatum and a ten point lead.

Oh Jesus, not the Tatum not scoring whine.

 

[jose melendez]

Yeah, we’re not watching any more games together.

It's such bad luck that I'm leaving the country just to be sure.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Yeah, if Marcus keeps getting wide open rhythm 3s off of multiple passes and penetration he should take them. Thing is not sure he will, already saw at least 1 where the defender closed hard and someone else was open.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Great D

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Clamps!!!!

 

[benhogan]

Doris having a good night, had 2 or 3 more good pieces of analysis than all of last game

she's a front-runner.....

if Philly is in the lead, Maxey is the best 22 in the NBA...

if Boston is in the lead, Smart is willing them to a lead

 

[Nator]

Suffocating.

 

[JakeRae]

I love that we’re now getting Tatum on Harden now that he’s guarding an actual offensive player and therefore is involved in our defense again.

 

[ifmanis5]

Rob City

 

[hellborn]

Celtics running and active on D - Embiid gonna be gassed

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Lob!

 

[Auger34]

Are the Sixers fans already booing the team?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

VERTICAL SMILE!

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Rob!

 

[RedSoxFan]

Two-way Timelord.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tatum as distributor!

 

[ifmanis5]

Welcome to Clamptown.

 

[jose melendez]

I kind of can't believe that the double bigs is working.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Are the Sixers fans already booing the team?

Oh yes

 

[Red Averages]

I forgot how intoxicating it is to watch our death lineup when motivated on defense.

 

[djbayko]

Dumb pass attempt by Smart.

Fortunately, our D is on fire right now.

Edit: And a dumb cross court pass by Brown.

 

[jose melendez]

Two dumb turnovers is bad though.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Jaylen. WTF

 

[Cellar-Door]

sloppy, very sloppy

 

[Caspir]

Oh Jesus, not the Tatum not scoring whine.

I meant it as a positive. Being up ten without anything from him is huge. But keep fucking that chicken.

 

[JakeRae]

Maybe Tatum should stick to passing until we get through the first quarter.

 

[Auger34]

You’ve got to come get that ball Derrick

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Back to back sloppy passes and a crappy offensive possession.

 

[OnWisc]

It’s not like this team to lose focus and get away from what’s working once they get a lead.

 

[Strike4]

Dumbassness starting to creep back in...

 

[nattysez]

Steph took a 3 last night just like the one Tatum just took. Please take a beat and set up the offense after your guys get an offensive board.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That Brown TO was actually on White per Max. White has to be banged up. Not the same player they had all season

 

[SteveF]

Some pretty bad decisions on offense.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

And it all falls apart as soon as White and Brogdon check in.

 

[jose melendez]

Need better shots/

 

[SteveF]

2 bad shots and a turnover last 3 possessions.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Two turnovers for jumping without know where we are going

 

[ifmanis5]

Squander time is here.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

So much for the good start.

 

[LesterFan]

Stop the stupid turnovers
